Neonatal erythema The newborn baby’s skin surface horny layer has not yet formed, the dermis is thin, the fibrous tissue is little, but the capillary network is well developed. Often some slight stimulation such as clothing, drugs will make the skin congested, manifested as multi-shaped erythema of different sizes and unclear edges, mostly seen on the head, face, trunk and limbs, generally speaking, the baby does not have other discomfort.
